Abstract	Adolescence is a critical developmental stage which is characterized by significant physical, emotional, and cognitive changes. This is a transitional period ranging from (10-19) years of age. This period is marked by the quest for identity, autonomy, and the development of personal values and social relationships. According to O'Brien (2003), problem behaviour is an act of a person who either forms significant risk to the health and/or safety to oneself or others; or who “exerts momentous negative impact on his/her own quality of life or the quality of life of others”. Adolescents with behaviour problems are at risk for numerous problems in the academic, social and daily functioning by Loeber & Farrington, 1999. According to Achenbach & Rescorla (2001), internalizing and externalizing problems are two empirically derived dimensional constructs that have been used frequently to operationalize adolescent behavioural problems. Various studies have done on behavioral problems of adolescents and its related factors. The present paper is on the review of behavioural problems among adolescents.
